[TCLUG] High speed internet

To be technical, Charter doesn't service Burnsville.  Charter services
Rosemount, Northfield, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Farmington.  Charter might
have a block or couple blocks on the edge of Burnsville, but that's about
it.

While legitimate use is hampered by restrictions, it does take care of some
issues that could arise from not doing it.  Like being put on AOL's block
list.  We'll just say I happen to know AOL has cracked down hard on spam
with the larger ISP's.  It also helps prevent the spread of worms by forcing
mail to go to a server that the ISP knows will clean out most worm/virus
e-mails.

Your comments are true, but cover a very small part of Burnsville and Apple
Valley, and not where I am.  Qwest was available to me
in my former home near Eagan in Apple Valley, but next door neighbors had
Frontier.
